When the Commissioner of Insurance requests a producer's business records, the records must be produced

• A. within 10 days
• B. after audit
• C. only with a court order
• D. upon request

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that regulators can require a producer to turn over records as part of oversight, and those records must be produced when the Commissioner requests them. When the Commissioner asks for business records, the producer is obligated to provide them promptly, without needing a court order or a special trigger like an audit being completed. This obligation supports the Commissioner’s ability to examine books, reports, files, and other materials to ensure compliance with insurance laws.

The other options aren’t the standard rule. A fixed 10-day deadline isn’t universally mandated for all requests, and records aren’t only produced after an audit—requests can occur during examinations or investigations. Requiring a court order would unnecessarily restrict regulatory access.
